About

What started out as an outlet to document the journey of a single mother aspiring to earn her PhD, has turned into an insight into Maranda’s world and her passions.  Hopefully the blog encourages others to follow and advocate for their passions (especially single parents).

Although this is founded by  a single mother, ALL people can benefit from the topics covered in the blog!
